Though the FDA says there is no evidence of food or its packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19, it's always important to thoroughly wash produce to prevent the spread of foodborne illness.

I made this for a beach bar b q last night. Multiply everything by 4and it's a perfect pitcher for two!

The recipe isn't bad. I've never seen one before for only one glass. You should understand that the heavier the wine the better the Sangria. A really heavy Burgundy, for example (reading between the lines, a Shiraz, Merlot, or Cabernet doesn't have the weight) or similar wine is great. Chile used to have a label called "Sangre de Toro" which worked wonderfully. I've also never heard about adding lemon juice. I'll have to try that. Sugar is to the taste. I never add sugar. I also add lime slices (in this case 1). Another option is to add some sparkling water to add some additional zest.

Not bad... I think if I make it again, I'll omit the sugar, and maybe cut the OJ back a bit. It was actually a little sweet for my taste.

Using slightly different ingredients, and making a pitcher of Red Wine Sangria.

When do you add the lime juice and how much? The intro says that it contains lemon and lime juice but the recipe doesn't list lime juice.

I thought the exact same thing as "murphsandy" when I read the recipe. Even the photo beside the recipe shows a pitcher.

Why on earth would you make sangria for 1? This recipe needs to be reworked for a pitcher. Also, it tastes better if it sits for a while to let fruits marry with the liquid.
